Hi
Folks In my
research into Paph. micranthum, I found all of Fowlie’s publications on
its varieties. The original publication in 1989 did not include Latin
diagnoses, and as such were invalid. In 1993, he republished
the four varieties in the Orchid Digest (page 186), and included Latin
diagnoses and indicated that herbarium specimens were deposited. None the
less, they are deemed invalid. Averyanov, in his Slipper Orchids of
Vietnam, indicates that Fowlie violated Article 33.1 of the ICBN which states: 33.1. A combination (autonyms excepted) is
not validly published unless the author definitely associates the final epithet
with the name of the genus or species, or with its abbreviation. Could
someone please explain how he violated this rule? Thanks
again! Ravenvision Photographic www.ravenvision.ca |
